You weren't supposed to get taken away from that. From her.

[Vicious, serious. Angry on Alex's behalf, for all of it. Because the world isn't supposed to work like that. Because at least he got a halfway happy ending before all of a sudden he didn't have it anymore.]

[There's a thump, something wooden, and a brief angry chatter in voices that aren't Mista's before they're quashed.]

Life isn't fucking fair but there's an order to things and it's not this. Something about your world is fucked sideways.

[He wonders what Death looks like, and if he could shoot it. Nice thought.]

It's not gonna be like this forever. It's fucking not. You're gonna get back to her and she's gonna say how right she was to tell you not to quit. And you're gonna go to more stupid parties and do more stupid shit and Death's gonna have to sit around with its thumb up its ass because it can't touch you anymore. If I have to make it happen myself it's gonna happen.

[Fuck Death. Fuck this. Fuck it all, he's done.]
